Chapter 369 Wrath
[Kill them! Kill them all!!]
The voice of a woman resounded through Bella's ears from the moment she encountered Sabrina.
Numerous memories of her Innate ability flashed through her mind and the face of a man appeared in front of her. The being, whose memories flashed through Bella's mind, had fought against that man.
She lost, was caught, and imprisoned for thousands of years. The man had done unimaginable things to her that had nourished her rage and wrath. The thought of revenge was the only thing that prevented the woman from ending her life.
And Bella encountered a being with the exact constitution as that of the man in her memories; the Body of the Ancient…
Influenced by the deeply rooted memories she had received from her Innate ability the [Celestial Transformation], Bella was consumed by her rage and had attacked Sabrina with the deepest desire to take revenge.
The pain and destruction she caused to the people around her were of no concern to Bella. Only the intention to take revenge was apparent in her mind.
However, this thought changed quickly when another overly familiar figure appeared in front of her.
The God of Darkness had emerged in front of her all of a sudden. His wrath could be sensed tens of kilometers around him and his overflowing energy caused the surrounding area to decay.
Everything around him crumbled the moment he took another step. Damian, or the being Bella presumed to be Damian due to the memories that flashed through her mind once again, had appeared right in front of her.
He was enraged but focused on knocking out the woman with the Body of the Ancient. This was incomprehensible for Bella, who knew that the man with the Body of the Ancient was not on good terms with the God of Darkness.
Yet, realization dawned on Bella only when she heard the overly familiar voice of the young man she had been with for months.
"So you did all of this…you killed my mother?" The man with the devilish appearance asked with an ice-cold voice, a voice Bella could recognize everywhere and at any time.
"Nial, is that you?!?" She asked, her eyes widening in terror while concluding that the woman with the Body of the Ancient must have been his sister.
This thought shocked her deeply but the comment that followed suit caused her to feel even more stunned.
"So it is really you…Bella…you killed her…my mother?" Nial asked, his ice-cold voice reverberating through the wilderness. Dark energy shot out of his body, it covered the ground all around them and he pointed his killing intent toward her.
Bella was fully aware of how important Nial's family was to him. Thus, she panicked internally for a moment, not understanding how things could have escalated so quickly.
No words were required to understand that Nial was ready to tear her apart, even if she had spent months with him and Mathias. She had done something unforgivable, which was something Bella understood quite clearly.
Whether she had intended to attack his mother or not, it didn't look like Nial cared about that, either way.
[KILL HIM!! He is the Eminence of Darkness, the Lord of the Realm of the Abyss!! KILLL HIMMM!!] The voice of the same woman as before flashed through Bella's mind.
Memories of numerous deadly battles flashed through Bella's head after the woman's order had resounded within her mind. Influenced by the death and destruction she saw in the memories she had received, Bella's expression changed drastically.
[All of this happened because of the God of Darkness! KILL HIM if you don't want to die!!]
More and more memories were transferred to Bella. She was overwhelmed with the sight of terrifying battlefields where an eerily similar energy to that of Nial's dark energy caused the most devastation and deaths.
Seconds that felt like an eternity passed and the young woman swallowed her saliva once she had digested all the memories she had received.
Her expression stiffened and she looked at Nial just once before she unleashed all the seals she had put on her body to control her powers.
Bella unleashed her strongest form of the [Celestial Transformation] which enhanced her strength as a Prometheus Original within moments before she made a decision that weighed heavily on her heart.
'If his mother has already died…because of me…only the death of one of us can end this!' Bella realized, fully understanding that Nial was not playing around anymore.
"If your mother was killed in the fight before, I apologize… But if I'm going to be honest, that was her inevitable fate for giving birth to someone like the two of you!" Bella declared, her golden eyes coldly looking down on Nial.
A golden halo had emerged above her head while her golden hair fluttered in the air. Holy light emerged from her body, which made her seem like the epitome of a Pure Saintess.
Both the women with the Body of the Ancient, and Nial with the same energy as the Eminence of Darkness had to be annihilated to ensure mankind's survival…her survival!
Bella took a deep breath and she willingly accepted the order the woman had given her. She was ready to end Nial's life, and manifested a golden longsword within her hand, which she brandished to the side.
Tremendous amounts of energy were released when Bella brandished her weapon, and a huge slash tore through the ground, creating a terrifying-looking fissure that was several dozen meters deep.
Bella's strength was terrifying and Nial would wonder how she was able to reach the Prometheus rank faster than he had advanced, if not for their special circumstances.
She pointed her sword at him, and the endless fury within Nial's heart was unleashed without hesitation.
"Is that so…her fate is sealed…" Nial mumbled mindlessly, clenching his fist until he began to bleed as he found back to his senses.
"Then your fate shall be the same!" He declared roaring out in anger while lifting his transformed hand. A humongous claw manifested out of the purest dark energy emerged, towering above Nial
"You will die through my hands…that will be your fate!!!" Nial released all his anger at once, smashing his at Bella, who slashed her holy sword against the humongous claw of darkness.
A sword beam of holy energy shot out of Bella's holy sword. The beam collided with the hand of darkness that was pushed back a moment later.
It was pierced through and it seemed like it would disperse at any moment when Nial's terrifying roar reverberated through Bella's entire being.
The hand of darkness grew together once again. It smashed upon Bella, whose expression had grown cold.
Golden particles formed around her and she disappeared from her earlier spot.
Bella emerged in the air above Nial, thrusting her sword downward. She didn't show a sign of hesitation to kill Nial and he accepted this readily.
The moment he knew that Bella had killed his mother, he was ready to end her life in the worst possible way, whether she was sorry or not. He didn't care about her reasoning in the slightest but it made things still a lot easier for his mentality considering that Bella attacked him with the intention to kill as well.
Nial took a single step to the side, evading Bella's attack easily. He had predicted the attack while dispersing the humongous claw of darkness to counterattack.
Given Bella's posture, while smashing to the ground in an attempt to pierce Nial's body, he could easily attack her in retaliation.
Thousands of vines of darkness shot out of the pitch-black ground that had been covered with his Dark energy.
The Essence of Darkness covered his body and Nial created dozens of daggers out of it which he shot straight toward Bella. She was not even a meter away from him and it was impossible for her to evade the daggers manifested out of the Essence of Darkness.
Thus, she could only accept and block the attacks. After releasing a golden aura, her strength increased by leaps and bounds. The Aura enveloped her body like an armor and a blast of golden energy shot in Nial's direction.
It purified and destroyed some of Nial's dark energy while weakening the Darkness Essence daggers. However, it was impossible for Bella to destroy the Darkness Essence Daggers.
Her eyes widened in shock when she realized this. Instinctively, she manifested eight tiny spatial portals to catch the Darkness Essence Daggers and change their flight trajectory.
This worked almost perfectly well because the Darkness Essence Daggers shot back through the spatial portals, straight toward Nial.
Yet, instead of panicking, Nial simply accepted the Darkness Essence Daggers. They disintegrated into the Essence of Darkness at his will before Nial reshaped them once again.
On the other hand, Bella realized that her instinctive reaction had been too slow. Nial didn't attack her with only eight Darkness Essence Daggers but nine!
The last Darkness Essence Dagger had succeeded in piercing through the aura that protected her body. It pierced through her highly resistant body and dug deep in her abdomen.
"Burst!" Nial ordered coldly and the Essence of Darkness burst out. It spread through her body while Nial continued to attack her relentlessly, forgetting that she had once been a friend to him.
Other than vines of darkness that shot out of the ground below and around Bella, spikes of darkness were already manifested. They pierced her feet, and legs and they tried to restrict her.
Nial was mercilessly led by his wrath and the tremendous influence the dark energy had over him.
He would only stop attacking Bella, the moment her dead and the unmoving body was right in front of him.
Uncontrollable rage fueled him and he released everything onto Bella. Her body was littered in numerous scratches covering her body and the wound on her stomach was bleeding heavily.
Meanwhile, the Essence of Darkness that had entered her body prevented Bella from properly circulating mana through her body.
The effect of her Innate ability was also worn off as she was unable to control it properly.
However, Nial still didn't end his attack.
He had unleashed the black miasma of his Curse [Hodur's Heir] and augmented it drastically with the use of [Blood Eclipse Moon]'s energy. Nial didn't hold back the slightest as he shrouded Bella with the bloody black miasma that further decreased her power.
She may be able to control the space around her when fully focused but Nial had figured out several perks about her affinity that only someone with his high mana affinity could tell.
Every single motion of Bella was visualized by Nial, whose mind digested everything in an instant. He could even decipher what kind of attack she would use when Bella circulated her mana through her body.
Or at least, Nial would be able to do all of this if Bella was currently still able to move.
She was extremely powerful and could be considered the strongest human on Jundra right at this moment. However, in the face of a wrath-filled Nial, she was a mere toy that could do nothing but struggle.
Her strength seemed insignificant in the face of Nial's limitless power and he was just about to end her as he noticed something behind him.
His expression changed a bit but he understood what was going on.
"Now…look who is here…fucking winged pieces of shit!"
